I gave a heart to a troll last time...

Ok, they appeared to me to be a troll. But they had been a member for a long time. I was unclear why they hadn't been banned because their posts seemed to be rude and often abrasive. However, they seemed to just skirt the edge of what was acceptable at times.

They got zero hearts. I suspect others felt like this person was just mean. So I decided to give one heart to see if maybe a Grinch-like reaction would happen.

At some point, they were FFR'd and haven't been seen since. And I think I would recognize the posting style if they had come back under another name. Or not.

I’ve been here a loooong time. Rude and abrasive; it has a familiar ring.

I feel like I know you. Opinions are one thing. I don't find that to be rude.

I never knew much about this person other than it liked to say rude things, and things that didn't add anything to the topic.

I would say more, but I am having too much fun watching the Whitaker hearings. I will give you a heart for you have made me smile.
